Windows 11 Desktop Grid Rows Change After Logout

My 2560×1600 (200% scaling) desktop grid changes from 6 rows at boot to 7 rows after logout (Win10 default). How to fix this inconsistent grid in Windows 11?

    Uncheck ‘Arrange icons automatically’ and ‘Align icons to grid’, then arrange the icons manually and lock the desktop layout.

    Right-click on the desktop, uncheck Auto-arrange icons and Snap icons to grid, then manually arrange the icons and lock the desktop layout.
